Table 2 Results of the logistic regression models fitted on the presence of respiratory distress (RD) as dependent variable and age, weight at admission, sepsis type, antibiotic management cluster as potential determinants. Cluster 3 was chosen as reference because it accounts for the cluster outside the protocol antibiotic lines
